SAVING OF TIME GREAT FEATURE FAVORING CARS Willys tells How Useful Motor Vehicles Have Become in Conduct of All Bus!- ness Lines. The title. The -Thrift Ctr," at ap- plied to the Overland automobile has been the topic for widespread discis sion since the automobile show. "The fact is," said John N. Willys, president -of. Willys-Overland, incor porated, recently, commenting upon the aptness k of the term, 'that time and money are just about one and the fiame thing.' To save time is to make more money. To waste it is to lose both money and opportunity. "The automobile is helping to turn spare moments into money, shorten miles and conserve time. For to be thrlftywith time is an absolute es sential to success. "Thrift implies not merely saving, but investing your savings in hours or dollars, with wisdom. .The autotno bile has bien the greatest aid we have ever had capitalizing time and coin ing this common possession into cash. 'i Of Great Utility. "Naturally the man who can accom plish more in a given time with the aid of an automobile reaps the great est reward. This is equally true of the farmer, the salesman, the doctor, the plumber, the contractor and people of all trades and professions whose number is legion. "In the early days of the automo bile industry, we scarcely realized ourselves what great utility the auto mobile was destined to become. But since the ' demand . for greater ac complishment in less time, with the decrease in manpower occasioned by the boys in training camps and in France, we have been doubly im 'pressed. "Tremendous business activities, heretofore unrecognized in their scope and magnitude, have come to depend to an extraordinary degree upon the passenger car as a means of lieedful transportation. : Of Many Uses." 'Vv : "All manner of construction work, such as contracting and building, the erection of public works, extension of highways, expansion of rail and other shipping facilities, and so on, have come to require a vast number of automobiles for the convenience of executives, inspectors,' engineers, estimators, paymasters and others. Fire chiefs, captains of police, super intendents, public executives, physi cians, clergymen, lawyers and mem bers of all other professions find their cart a needful element in their daily work.; W are forced to the conclusion that the passenger car is a public utility of the . very first . order and necessity. Therefore, if our great na tion is to continue its program and carry the present war to a success ful end, the manufacture of passen ger autotpobiles j must continue to such degree as will not interfere with the efficiency of those whose efforts are vital to our national ef ficiency."

Aeroplane Motors Built In Steams-Knight Plant About the highest compliment that could hi paid an American automo bile plant was the recent closing 'of a contract between the Rolls-Royce company of England and the F. B. Stearns company of Cleveland, where by the latter concern will make Rolls- Royce aeroplane motors in Cleve land. , The excellence of the mechanical construction, particularly the motor, of the Rolls-Royce automobile, has long been recognized . both abroad and Tn this country. Shortly after Great Britain entered the war, the big plant of the Rolls Royce company was commandeered and its engineers and highly trained mechanics turned to making aero plane engines. i ; : , inese are me motors wnicn nave since furnished - the power to the nehtintr British nlanes. which have won such wonderful victories.; Last " year the demand became greater than the English plants, un der the control of the Rolls-Royce company, could supply and, with the sanction of the United States gov ernment, Rolls-Royce engineers came to this country in an endeavor to se cure help from plants in this country, Ihey made a caretui canvass . ot American motor car factories, and finally decided on the Stearns Knight factory. Negotiations were - then opened which led to the F. B.

Nearly 2,500 men have gone out from this great (Organization in response to the call of the nation.
